Corks & Colors Studio

"Looking for a date night? Want a great activity for the kids? Well then look no further. Friendly staff, clean atmosphere, fair price."

"I wish this was a 10-star system so I could give Corks & Colors more stars! I have been going here for about 6 months now and have always been so pleased with my experience. It's a great, welcoming space where you can stretch your creative muscles (no matter how long it might be since you've used them lol). They offer pieces that are blank canvases such as plates/bowls, others that give some more direction like figurines, and some especially fun wildcard things from time to time (I think I saw a miniature tea set and one of those Lenox style light-up Christmas trees?). The price you pay includes everything you need to get started, whether you choose to paint pottery or just canvas with acrylic. You can buy wine, beer, or soft drinks as well. After going in a handful of times the staff started to recognize me and compliment the pieces I was making/picking up. The owner, Erika, is incredibly kind and helpful, as is every employee I've interacted with. Sometimes if I need suggestions or advice with a design, I'll ask one of them and they're very insightful with great tips. I've yet to make it to a class, but everyone in the classes upstairs seems to be very pleased with their experience. I'm excited to try some classes in the future (there's painting on canvas, sculpting, and throwing on the pottery wheel)! As a Gainesville native, it's nice to be able to support a local business with such kind staff and to feel welcome into a comfortable space. Thanks to Erika and all other staff for always being amazing!"

"What an amazing art store! My friends and I came here to paint pottery and we loved it! The variety of pottery was excellent and the color options were great with over 70 color options. The staff are extremely friendly! Overall loved coming here and we will definitely be coming back to do more painting."

"Had a great time at this place! They had such a good variety of pieces to choose from."

"This is a super cool place to visit and paint! The pricing is very simple as you pay in the beginning for the piece or canvass that you want to paint. There’s no extra charge for the paints. They also have beverages of all kinds and discounts on certain days (see photos). The atmosphere is great with college students, families, and couples. They play music but not too loudly. It’s a great place to relax and paint your stress away. They also do classes!"
